What a freshly practical take on the problem!

I might have missed this on your job listing, but... From my experience in hiring, I would strongly suggest that all tech job listings, especially startups, describe the application process and estimated time budget needed, as well as be upfront about take-homes.

Saw significant improvement to candidate quality as well as recruitment.

Having suffered myself over the years, I try to keep the process lightweight for everyone, and frontload the obvious reasons for one side to reject the other.

Life is too short to spend on interviewing.
